1,1-Dichloroethylene in Ravenna Park Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Ravenna Park Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter drinking water when industrial solvents or related chemicals reach groundwater. Because it vaporizes easily, it can be released into household air during showers, laundry and dishwashing as well as remain in the water you use. It often has no noticeable taste, odor or color, so the only reliable way to know if it’s present is through testing. If your water test shows elevated levels, treating the water where it enters your Ravenna Park home is a practical next step.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are typically found in very small concentrations and can fluctuate over time, so clear-looking water isn’t always an assurance of safety. Many Ravenna Park families prefer to lower exposure from daily activities—cooking, brushing teeth and bathing—rather than limit treatment to a single faucet. A whole-house solution delivers consistent treated water throughout the home, including bathrooms, kitchen and laundry, which is especially useful in our humid subtropical Florida climate where indoor air quality during showers can matter to sensitive households.
